This. Ending the war on drugs would be a HUGE start.

Roger most people don't care about the militarization of the police & actually don't mind cops putting boots to neck ' as long as it's 'those people'.
These are the same people who want armed guards at the border to confront unarmed children(those people).
While minorities are at the front line against the militarized police most 'phobes' feel safe being 'protected & served' by such a strong police presence.

This is a case where libertarians and liberals have common ground.

Absolutely disagree. You can't play victim in ever situation. It's a very mainstream issue and being trumpeted by more non partisans, and non minorities as much as you may disbelieve it. This crosses party, racial, socioeconomic lines. LINK
Read "The Rise of the Warrior Cop" if you think people are accepting of this war on our citizens.

Not really a controversial topic around here. Most politards agree with the OP.
